Introduction (English)

Welcome to the Richmond People's Budget! This is your opportunity to shape the future of your community by sharing your ideas for improving Richmond. We believe that no idea is too big or too small—every voice matters in making Richmond a better place to live, work, and study.
How would you make your neighborhood better?
We encourage you to think creatively and consider how capital improvement projects could enhance the quality of life in your district. Examples of capital improvement projects include:
  • Building a new park or playground
  • Installing public art and murals
  • Upgrading sidewalks and street lighting
Guidelines for Proposals:
  • Must be a Capital Improvement Project: Your project should focus on physical infrastructure that benefits the public, like parks, streets, or community centers.
  • Must Be Located Within the City of Richmond: Your project should serve the residents and communities within city limits.
Eligibility
All residents, workers, and students in the City of Richmond are eligible to propose ideas and vote in the general ballot in April 2025. You must be at least 14 years old. Your immigration status and post-incarceration status will not affect your ability to participate.
Must Fit Within the Budget for Your District:
  • Each District is going to get $200,000.
  • Plus, there is another $1.2 million to support projects in areas that deserve a bit more. We are expecting either an added $100,000 in District 3, 5, 7 or $300,000 in District 6, 8, 9.
All ideas will be shared and published to our website so that the public can see and comment on them. Your name and personal information will not be shared.
